Conventional optical fiber temperature/strain sensors often have to make compromises between the resolution and the dynamic range. Here we present a new method that meets the measurement requirements for both high resolution and large dynamic range. A high-quality optical fiber Fabry-Perot Interferometer (FPI) constructed using a pair of chirped fiber Bragg gratings is employed as the sensor and a dual-mode direct spectrum interrogation method is proposed to identify the small drift of external temperature or strain.

Measurement resolution and dynamic range of conventional optical fiber sensors are often mutually restricted. In this work, an in-fiber chirped Fabry-Perot cavity (interferometer) is proposed, for the first time to our knowledge, to resolve the conflict between the resolution and dynamic range. The chirped Fabry-Perot interferometer is constructed by two chirped fiber Bragg gratings inscribed in the opposite directions, resulting in a gradually varied (i.
